Getting emotional about things is a peacetime luxury. In wartime, it's much too painful.

Emphasis in the Marine Corps isn't on talking about your feelings.

Mostly in life people are trying not to have emotions.

I went to boarding school, and what that teaches you is to cope emotionally at a young age and to suppress a lot of emotion. Being in the army is, in a way, similar.

This is still a man's profession, with a lot of men who intellectually and emotionally have not accepted that the military could be women's work.

Military brats have this toughness: they're almost like orphans or foster children; they develop little mechanisms. It sets you up to look at things a little differently.

But courage which goes against military expediency is stupidity, or, if it is insisted upon by a commander, irresponsibility.

Emotions may win arguments, but they don't win wars.

In movies, people seem to be more emotional than they would ever be if that situation was actually happening to them.

I'm an emotional person. I may not seem that way, but I'm an emotional person.
